    At 377 pounds my penis was a JOKE. It looked like a stinking turtlehead. When you lose the weight you lose the fat around your penis which allows it to appear longer. Not only that blood flow down there works a heck of alot better when your healthy and thin so you gain a little there just because your a ROCK HARD stallion. Now that I got my Tummy Tuck and removed a large portion of my pubic mound with all the extra skin I am actually HUNG. Its AMAZING I TELL YOU. You definately gain inches. Enjoy looking forward to your bigger penis!

    Wallace06 got a reaction from CowgirlJane in Need the honest truth, what are the negatives about the sleeve that you wish would have known beforehand.   
    Hi, I am a 45 year old male and i just recently had a Lapband to sleeve revision done on 12/13 and I am doing great so far. I am down 31lbs in a little more than 3 weeks and the only regrets I can tell you that I have had so far is my inability to drink fluids at a faster rate. Just like the person who posted before me I can only drink 3 or 4 ounces at a time and then have to wait about ten minutes in between. I have also experienced some mild accid reflux but i have pretty much kept that at bay with a daily regimen of Zantax 150 / store brand, not name brand.
    I can also tell you that I was like you debating and debating if I wanted to do the revision but I also have had the pleasure of knowing someone who had her sleeve surgery the same time I had my lapband surgery over 7 years ago and she has lost over 125lbs and MAINTAINED THE WEIGHT LOSS within 20lbs up and down all of this time now. She told me that she still has her good and BAD days with the foods she eats but the one thing about the sleeve is no matter what your stomach will never stretch back anywhere to the size it was before.

    Wallace06 got a reaction from E-girl in Why Are Tea/coffee Taboo Post Surgery ?   
    I work in the coffee industry and learned in one of the many classes that i have taken over the years the Columbian Coffee is the culprit for many people that are sensitive to accid reflux. The columbian coffee bean is HIGH in accidic content.

    Wallace06 got a reaction from MarciaL in Band erosion, lap band major problems!   
    Hi everyone, I am Kelli , Stephens wife. Since the surgery in Ocotober of last year alot has been going on. First after the 6 day stayover in the hospital, the incision in 2 different spots started to abcess. Thus I had to do my own wound care until February of 2012. Luckily I am a nurse and it didn't totally gross me out cleaning and packing these 2 times a day. Now they are healed completely, thank God. I had also developed difficulties digesting milk products. I had a food allergy test when all the trouble began last summer and at that time I had NO allergy to dairy. But shortly after Christmas this year I noticed alot of acid reflux, gas, cramping and lose stools. So I put myself on an elimination diet starting by taking gluten out of my diet, that didn't help.I tried to take out all preservatives, no meat, ,I also added, Probiotics, Activia, digestive enzymes , even Zantac 2 x day. NOTHING. Then after eating some gluten free Cereal I had the worse episode ever and realized it was the milk.No more, cheese, ice cream, cream based Soups ans so on. I through trial and error I have developed a routine. Every day I take a Perscription strenght Pepcid, eat one Activia a day (thank goodness yogurt is low in lactose). IF I have any other milk poducts it is lactose free or if I'm out and decide to have cheese on something I take Lactose tabs first. It's a bit of a hassle but at least I can go in public (and work) without embaressing myself. I'm doing well, considering. But the biggest thing is I've gained weight. It's quite depressing but I knew it would happen after all I had become accustomed to depending on my band to keep my portions in check. I have since joined a gym and am having to depend on the "old" method of losing weight. Which got me in this mess because it never worked before. Thanks for all the support, Kelli W
